Track and Field in New Brunswick




Matthew and I are in Ormocto, New Brunswick (CFB Gagetown) for Legion National Track and Field. Matthew competed in the 100 m hurdles where he placed 9th overall. He also placed 9th in long jump. Today, he participated in a medley relay (new to me) where the first runner went 400 m, the second (Matthew) and the third ran 200 m and the final runner went 800 m. Their team finished 5th. Tomorrow he is in the 4 x 100 m relay and then off to Fredericton and St. John and then to Moncton.


I am here with my mom and friend and neighbour, Carol Britnell whose son, Lane, won GOLD in pole vault today. We've toured around a bit, ate LOTS of seafood and have done only a "little" shopping.


Good times - thanks New Brunswick ...
